Beyond the visible damage that is immediately evident following a fire, further destruction of your property can be seen days, weeks or even months after the initial event took place. Heat damage, water damage, smoke damage, carbon residue and chemical damages can leave your property with lasting damage. After a fire, you need to protect your investments and help restore your home or business.
Once the fire has cleared, you could be faced with additional complications, including:
Soot
A layer of soot and ash can cover most items in the home. If left untreated, this can begin to wear away at your property.
Carbon Residue
When residual carbon accumulates, the smell of the fire will linger and seep into upholstery and carpeted surfaces.
Acid and Fire Fighting Agents
Fire teams use chemical agents to help combat fires. Unfortunately, the acid left behind can degrade surfaces.
Did you know?
Without a professional, experienced team, you could see devastating effects from the fire for a long time after the initial damage was done. Plastic and metal can deteriorate; furniture, grout, and aluminum will break down, and stains and odor will linger.
